- Sniper rifle
Good to know
- It fires at 75 rounds per minute from a 5-round magazine, or 6 extended.
- You carry 20 spare rounds, or 30 with the Sniper's Pocket upgrade.
- Sobek Special has 7 out of 10 damage, well above the base rifle's 4.5.
- The Cache Money treasure hunt unlocks Sobek Special.
- It takes suppressors, so you can snipe without tripping alarms.
- Optics range from iron sights up to the Large Advanced Sniper Scope, plus a canted reflex sight.
What it's good for
Use it to pick off guards from range before you move into a base. A suppressor and a good scope let you thin out a checkpoint without raising the alarm. The slow bolt means each shot needs to count.
How to get it
Sobek Special is the reward for the Cache Money treasure hunt. El Depredador is a hunting carbine tied to Acosta and the mythical animal hunts. A Relic version with even higher damage also exists.
Mods and ammo
It takes standard, armor-piercing, soft-target, poison, blast and incendiary rounds. Armor-piercing deals with helmeted snipers and heavies. Soft-target suits unarmored guards and animals.
Compared with
It is lighter on damage than the MBP .50 or the M38 but handles better. The SVD and Yaran SR-A fire faster if you need follow-up shots.
